Notice Text

Guardian Pipeline, L.L.C. ("GPL") is posting a non-binding solicitation of interest for incremental conditional firm capacity with service to begin effective November 1, 2021 contingent upon the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("FERC") approval authorizing GPL to add a proposed new Rate Schedule FT-C, Firm Transportation Service ("FT-C Service"). The proposed FT-C Service is a conditional version of GPL's existing firm transportation service under Rate Schedule FT-2. The new FT-C Service will be based on availability of incremental capacity, subject to the Total Heating Value ("THV"), as defined in GPL's Tariff General Terms & Conditions ("GT&C"). This incremental capacity depends on the historical trend of higher THV on GPL's facilities. FT-C Service will be subject to curtailment when the THV is not sufficient and GPL is experiencing maximum use of the contracted firm (FT-1 and FT-2) service. The conditional transportation service will have a lower priority firm status than FT-1 and FT-2 to the extent of any decrease in THV but will otherwise conform to the applicable GT&C under Rate Schedule FT-2. 

The proposed FT-C Service will not have ROFR pursuant to Section 23 of the GT&C. GPL anticipates the average THV on its system will be able to provide sustained service under the proposed Rate Schedule FT-C. However, if THV conditions reduce the available capacity on GPL's system, FT-C Service will be interrupted, and demand charge credits will be issued to the FT-C shipper. 

A copy of the draft FT-C Service filing is available for review at http://www.oneok.com/gpl under Informational Postings; Regulatory; Pending Tariff Filings.

Proposed Contract Terms:
Rate Schedule:  FT-C
Max Daily Quantity :  38,914 Dth/day
Primary Receipt Point:  Any Available 
Primary Delivery Point:  Any Available 
Reservation Rate:  Max Rate (.2205) 
ROFR:  NO

FT-C service is subject to FERC approval of the new Rate Schedule and related tariff changes. GPL currently anticipates filing for approval no later than September 1, 2021 for service to be available beginning November 1, 2021. Any delay in approval will result in a corresponding delay in the start of FT-C Service. Because the start of service is subject to FERC approval, parties submitting non-binding indications of interest should indicate whether the requested service term will not change or will be reduced as a result of any delay in the start date for FT-C Service. In addition to the reservation rate set forth above, Shipper shall also be subject to any other applicable surcharges, penalties, or other charges due to Transporter under the terms specified in GPL's Tariff. 

The capacity described above will be subject to a non-binding open bidding process.¿Non-binding bids for the firm capacity described above will be accepted beginning at 8:00 am CCT, Tuesday, May 25, 2021 and ending at 5:00 pm CCT, Tuesday, June 22, 2021. 

Only bids submitted via online bid form will be accepted. Please go to the following website: https://www.oneok.com/gpl/informational-postings/customer-activities/bid-form
Additional Instructions: Select "Open Season Bid" from the Bid Type's drop-down menu. Complete each field (all fields are required with the exception of "Other Bid Comments.") 

At the conclusion of bidding , GPL will post whether bids have been received, whether it plans to proceed with the proposed tariff filing to add the proposed FT-C service and if a filing will be made, the timeline to complete the filing and a binding open season.  

If GPL receives sufficient interest in the proposed FT-C service in this non-binding solicitation of interest,  it expects to post a binding open season in August, 2021.
